The National Association of Occupational Health Nurses is still in its infancy and is striving to become an interest group under the umbrella of the Canadian Nurses Association. This will bring together the provincial associations in a common goal of promoting worker health and safety. The diversity of the country and the sheer magnitude of the various occupations of Canadians reflect the need for the occupational health nurse to be well educated and kept abreast of new developments. Changes in the worksite echo changes in health and safety legislation that will help to improve conditions in the workplace. Future challenges arise from changes in the work force and the nature of work and include: ergonomic issues, job stress, older workers, EAPs, and increased competition.
加拿大职业健康护士协会仍处于起步阶段，正努力成为加拿大护士协会旗下的一个利益集团。这将把各省的协会聚集在一起，以促进工人健康与安全这一共同目标为导向。该国的多样性以及加拿大各种职业的庞大数量反映出，职业健康护士需要接受良好教育并跟上新发展的步伐。工作场所的变化呼应了健康与安全立法的变化，这将有助于改善工作场所的条件。未来的挑战源于劳动力和工作性质的变化，包括：人体工程学问题、工作压力、老年工人、员工援助计划以及竞争加剧。
